What are the benefits of using attr() instead of using addClass() in jquery?
443
jQuery attr() Method The attr() method sets or returns attributes and values of the selected elements. When this method is used to return the attribute value, it returns the value of the FIRST matched element.
The attr() CSS function is used to retrieve the value of an attribute of the selected element and use it in the stylesheet. It can also be used on pseudo-elements, in which case the value of the attribute on the pseudo-element's originating element is returned.
The addClass() method adds one or more class names to the selected elements. This method does not remove existing class attributes, it only adds one or more class names to the class attribute. Tip: To add more than one class, separate the class names with spaces.
The only benefit of attr() I know if is that it works with SVG, addClass() does not.
